A Thousand For a Kiss & Fifty Cents For Your Soul by NikNak22 [Rated M, 11619 words, incomplete, last updated July 2022]

Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard, two movie stars in their own right, have never had the pleasure of working together - and neither is sure if this is a good or a bad thing. But when Kevin Day comes calling, providing a unique opportunity, they both jump at it. Cautiously, they begin filming together for the first time on set, both slow to trust and quick to deny the spark burning between them.

But as time goes on, neither can continue pretending that what they feel is an act. That they're merely playing a part. Not when they've both been given a glimpse of what can happen when you overcome the fear of being known and finally let someone else in.

tw: panic attacks, tw: homophobia

racing hearts by josten_minyard [Rated T, 3486 words, complete, Aftg Summer Exchange 2022]

Andrew asks Neil to go on a date - only, it's a fake date, to enter a running competition (couples only) for a chance to win the golden prize of a month of free ice cream. Still, Neil will take what he can get.

Now, if only he could get his stupid feelings under control.

Fire and Ice by alexis_needs_sleep [Not Rated, 26400 words, complete, 2022]

Andrew was Neil’s best friend in the whole world. When his usual friend-date canceled on him, he knew Andrew would be the perfect person to keep him company at his track team's banquet. What started as one friend-date spiraled into several dates and an entire fake relationship, which Neil was 100% sure was the most convincing fake relationship that ever existed. All he had to do was not tell Andrew that he was actually in love with him the whole time. Easy enough, right?

Just for Show by butitknewme [Rated T, 1294 words, incomplete, last updated June 2022]

alison turned abruptly towards andrew from her perch on a stool, and asked suddenly: “is it true you’re dating neil?”

neil was, in that moment, infinitely grateful for andrew’s persistent poker face and their friends’ collective inability to see past it. to neil, he saw the slow blink, the register of surprise, the flick of his eyes toward neil’s. to alison, all she saw was unshakeable apathy.

“yes.”

though the answer shouldn’t have come as a surprise (neil knows how much andrew loves to create chaos, and how unwilling he would be to throw neil under the bus), the easy response still sent a jolt down neil’s spine. it must be because it's the first time he’s heard andrew lie.

masking his own surprise, he turned to nicky and alison, hands spread before him. “see? i can’t believe you guys thought i was lying.”

----

or the one in which neil josten fake dates his best friend andrew minyard... and it goes about as well as you would expect.

Old(ish) faves:

Read between the lines series by butallmystars [Rate E/T, 39169 words, complete, 2022]

Part 1: Read between the lines (E, 32722 words)

In which Neil has a work conference across the globe and Andrew is not above lying to corporate for a week in Italy with his best friend.

Part 2: I wasn't pretending (T, 6447 words)

Read between the lines chapter five from Neil’s point of view. Radio silence, the gala & drunk texting.

A Book for Christmas by CurvedYellowFruit [Rated T, 13736 words, complete, 2021]

Andrew joins an online book club to stave off boredom. None of the other book club members have any opinions worth engaging with, but one person is particularly infuriating. Andrew decides he hates Smart_Alec10 - right up until he suddenly doesn’t. Cue adoptive-parent Nicky pestering Andrew about Christmas dinner, and you have a recipe for fake dating and a trope-filled Christmas.

dating & other disasters by lolainslackss, moonix [Rated T, 51086 words, complete, 2019]

Andrew thought it couldn't get any worse than having to watch Neil go on disastrous date after disastrous date with other people. Until Neil had the bright idea that they should fake date to mess with their friends.

tw: alcohol

Nine Weddings and No Funerals by gluupor [Rated T, 28578 words, complete, 2019]

Neil's just been unceremoniously dumped by his longtime boyfriend before a busy wedding season where it seems like everyone he knows is tying the knot. Desperate not to look like a pathetic loser in front of his ex, he goes along with a plan to bring along a fake boyfriend to the weddings. Since neither Neil nor his date Andrew are interested in pursuing a relationship, there's no chance that anyone's feelings will be hurt.

tw: acephobia

The Bokeh Effect by fuzzballsheltiepants [Rated T, 13239 words, complete, 2019]

Neil is struggling as a freelance photographer when the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself. Unfortunately, a casual lie told during his initial interview leaves him scrambling to find a "partner" ASAP. His best option? His ex-best friend/ex-roommate, who ghosted him the day after graduation.

Neil is in some serious trouble.

The absolute SHOCK on Val's face and the sound loud enough that Wilson could probably hear it over the sound of gunfire from the other side of the megabuilding.
